PREFACE 



Major W. B. Wetmore is- one of the oldest collectors, 
though not in age, in the United States, having been form- 
ing the following collection since about 1860, which we are 
commissioned to catalogue and sell at auction without 
reserve. 

There are many very desirable coins here offered, 
notably the grand old King of American Coins, 

The 1804 Dollar 
a coin the possession of which has afforded Major Wet- 
more much pleasure for nearly thirty years. There are 
many other desirable coins in the sale, the gold being 
notably good. The 1863 quarter eagle; the three dollars 
of 1875 and 1876 are of extreme rarity. 

In the silver the rare dates are all represented and will 
enable several collectors to fill gaps in their sets, and par- 
ticularly dollars of 1794, 1804, 1836 Gobrecht in field, 
1838, 1839, 1851, 1852, 1858; half dollars 1796, 1797; 
quarters 1823, 1827; dime 1804; half dime 1802. Mag- 
nificent cents. Kare half cents. Fine currency, solid 
disk 25c, etc. 

Collectors are requested to carefully examine their bids 
before sending them in, remembering to make their bid so 
much each piece except in proof sets and where lot is 
stated; and that no lot is separated. Our grades of con- 
dition have been established now nearly 30 years and are 
uniform and well known and the coins will meet the con- 
dition stated, no more, or less. Our motto is: fairness to 
seller and buyer. Many letters have just been received 
from successful bidders at the great Smith collection sale 
just closed, (several of our bidders securing over f 1,000 
worth each) telling us how much pleased they were with 
the coins bought. 



II 

On bids entrusted to our care we make a charge of 10 % 
on the amount purchased (no charge unless purchase is 
made). This fee is for entering, purchasing at sale, and 
forwarding goods bought. The auctioneers will receive 
bids and execute them free of charge, but they assume 
no responsibility and require payment before delivery. 

We guarantee all the coins and medals to be genuine. 

Catalogues illustrated with five plates showing the rare 
coins, especially valuable to collectors on account of the 

1804 Dollar. Sent before sale, price $1.00 

Plate catalogue sent before sale, to be returned and 

priced after sale 1.50 

Plain catalogue priced after sale .65

GOLD PKOOF SETS. 
Each contains the complete gold coins of the year unless 
otherwise mentioned. These proof sets are exceedingly 
rare, and our estimate would be that there are not over 
five sets in existence of these dates. All are brilliant 
proofs, and are sold at so much per set. 

148 1863 $20, $10, $5, $3, $2%, $1. The $2y 2 extremely 

rare, only thirty pieces coined, and of these Mr. 
J. F. McCoy informed us some were melted at the 
Mint, $3 and $1 very rare. Complete set 6 pes 

149 1864 $20, $10, $5, $3, $2y 2 , $1. The $3, $2%, $1

157 1873 $20, $10, $5, $3. $3 excessively rare, only 25

158 1875 $20, $10, $5, $3, $2%, $1. Of this set, with the 

exception of the $20 all the pieces are very rare. 
Of the $10 only 120 were struck ; of the $5 only 
220; of the $3 only 20 pieces; of the $2% piece 
420 ; of the dollar 420. As only 20 $3 were coined 
there could not have been more than twenty sets 
struck. We once bought in Europe two sets of 
this year lacking the $3 which no doubt were used 
for cuff buttons. The $3 alone sold at our Wil- 
cox sale in 1901 for $205, and would bring vastly 
more to-day. Complete set of excessive rarity,

159 1876 $20, $10, $5, $3, $2%, $1. Of the eagles there 

were struck 732, half eagles 1,477; of the three

y. Rev. states of, about equally spaced be-

within a rim. Lettering on edge lightly struck, 
and invisible on part of the periphery as in all 
the other six specimens. Weight 410- 1 / 4grs., 
which is correct, as the difference between this 
and the average weight of the very fine specimens, 
415-8/10 grs., legal standard" 416 grs., has been 
lost by wear, as it has evidently been much circu- 
lated, sufficiently to have caused it to have lost 
this difference of about 5 grains. It has evidently 
been in actual circulation and bears no appear- 
ance whatever of a piece rubbed purposely to 
make it look old. It is the only specimen that 
shows having been in circulation. We guarantee 
it to be genuine and original like the specimen in 
the U. S. Mint. 



PLATE III 




WETMORE C 



THE UNITED STATES. 1804 DOLLAR. 13 

The record of the previous ownership of this 
piece is as follows : Major Wetmore purchased of 
Mr. Parmelee in 1878 for $600, who had bought it 
at the sale of the H. S. Adams collection, 1876, 
at $500, and Mr. Adams had purchased it at the 
sale of Ool. M. I. Cohen's collection the year be- 
fore at $325. In the catalogue of the collection of 
Col. Cohen of Baltimore Mr. Edward Cogan, the 
venerable numismatist, described it as follows : 
"This extremely rare Dollar was procured from 
Eichmond, Virginia, where it was known to Col- 
onel Cohen to exist for many years before it came 
into his possession. It has been more circulated 
than either of the two previously sold at Auction, 
and has every appearance of having been struck 
in the year of its date, and is guaranteed to be 
original." A year after the sale we remember con- 
versing with Col. Cohen, and he confirmed the 
statement made by Mr. Cogan. 

The 1804 dollar was first published by Messrs. 
Eckfeldt & DuBois, Assayers of the Mint, in their 
Manual of Coins in 1842, in which they placed it 
on one of their plates made by the ruling engine, 
(which traces the image mechanically, and it is 
therefore almost as good a record as a photogra- 
phic plate, ) without comment as to its rarity, and 
evidently simply chose it as the finest impression 
of the type in the Mint collection. This was fif- 
teen years before the first restrike and the high 
values upon U. S. coins, which tempted later re- 
strikes or fabrications. In 1843, according to 
a letter which the late Matthew A. Stickney wrote 
us, he exchanged with the Government author- 
ities an immune Columbia in gold for a duplicate, 
and we thus have two direct witnesses that the 
dollar was there in 1843. Of this first class of 



14 THE UNITED STATES. 1804 DOLLAR. 

impressions only six are known to exist, and three 
of these; No. 1, the Mint specimen, — No. 2, the 
Appleton specimen, now in the Library of the 
Mass. Historical Society, — No. 3, Byron Reed 
specimen, formerly of the Parmelee collection, 
and now in the City Mnsenm of Omaha, — are for- 
ever out of the reach of the collector, thus leaving 
but three specimens which could come upon the 
market. In addition to this class of impressions 
there are two series of restrikes that were made in 
the U. S. Mint. 

Restrike A. with a new reverse die and plain 
edges, and deficient in weight. There are two of 
these known to be in existence. One in the Mint. 

Restrike B. Very similar appearance to the 
originals, but invariably with errors in the letter- 
ing of the edges, two or three of the letters being 
doubled. Of this latter class there are four or five 
in existence. 

Superficial numismatists and would-be experts 
on the 1804 dollar have thought that they discov- 
ered evidence that it was not contemporaneous in 
its border, which is a circle of beads within a 
raised rim, and not long serrated points like the 
dollars of the previous years, but in such a case 
the other coins of the year should be studied. We 
did so, and found that the same border is employed 
on the dime on both the obverse and the reverse 
dies. This discovery forever sets at rest the ques- 
tion of the border, and is one of the strongest 
points to prove the contemporaneous execution of 
the dollar. Plate III. (copyright)
